We finally waded through two five-gallon buckets and a 2-gallon bucket
of pears, finishing yesterday afternoon.

Total canned goods equal 7 quarts of pear slices; 7 quarts of pear
sauce; 7 pints of cinnamon pears; 7 pints of creme de menthe pears, and
7 pints of pear honey. Saved about a dozen for eating out of hand. Now -
our pear tree is ready to pick - looks we'll be busy again. VBG

You could always make perry from them. Juice or press them to get the
juice, and let it ferment. Similar to cider, but with a subtle pear
flavour instead of a subtle apple flavour.
